Hi,

We are using WSUS to deploy windows patch in our environment (no Azure). Some of our Windows 2012 R2 server purchase ESUs. How can we patch the Windows 2012R2 servers by the WSUS?

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out.

Utilise Windows Update, Windows Server Update Service, and the Catalogue to obtain ESUs. The Wsusscn2.cab will be accessible during the Extended Security Update period and will also include ESUs. The most recent Wsusscn2.cab file can be downloaded from the following page: Get the Wsusscn2.cab file.
